This is one of my “go to” breakfasts. I love that I can make it once and it lasts for two or three days in the fridge. It means I don’t have to think in the morning, and it’s easy to pop in a jar and take with me if I’m short of time. (I’ve even taken it to the airport with me when I had a super early flight, and didn’t want to pay $10 for an airport brekkie!) If you want to save even more time, chop up a big batch of fruit and nuts of your choice and keep them in a jar for another time. And you might think that adding extra virgin olive oil to your morning oats is just too weird, but I love the flavour, and that it keeps me feeling full for longer by slowing digestion and helping keep my blood sugar levels steady.

If you’re looking for other healthy breakfast ideas (or you’re not an oatmeal kind of person), then check out this easy banana bread recipe – it’s perfect with a piece of fruit in the morning!

Id love to hear your favourite fruit / nut / milk combos for this recipe in the comments. And whether you’ve had a go with the added extra virgin olive oil! Alternatively drop me a line at farmerfi@freshfieldgrove.com.au, or find me on Facebook @freshfieldgrove
